Salam.. as this is a problem of many kids nowadays.. u have to give alot of time to your child for diet purpose.. wt gain na krne k or bhi reasons hoskte hain. Need a proper history , diet history (subah kitna or kiya khata sham main kitna etc)if its possible for you then u can book my appointment for all your queries.. thank you

A child who doesn’t eat well will not gain weight. He will be deficient in important nutrients and it will affect his behaviour as well. I suggest you try to establish proper meals 3 main meals in the form of breakfast,lunch and dinner and 2 snacks in between. Some ideas are as under: Breakfast : Boiled egg/ fried egg with 1/4 paratha / small half a cup of milk Snack: any fruit( a banana/ 7-8 medium cut mango cubes/ melon cubes ). Lunch: khichri/ mashed potato with butter and chicken/ chicken pieces with cheese/ any home made gravy with 1/4 roti. Snack: a small bowl of yogurt/ custard/ fries/ sooji halwa/ sagu Dana kheer. Dinner:cooked vegetable with 1/4 roti/ rice with a little gravy. If the child takes nap in the afternoon, you can give him milk then. Along with this, start syrup Maltofer 2ml morning and evening for 3 months. It’s an iron supplement. You will notice improvement in behaviour as well as appetite once you start this. Also deworm the baby with syrup Zentel 5 ml single dose once a day only for one day. I hope it helps
